You only need one day to be a dictator. After that, you are automatically a dictator.
This is probably what he is projecting, when he is talking about ‘the last election we ever have’.
There’s no probably about it. People like him don’t give up power once they have it.
He also needs to stay in the White House to stay out of the big house (prison). The grifting he can do while he sells the US for parts is just a bonus for him.
he literally tried it once already, we don’t really need to speculate if he’d go for it
1776-2016 the US fought against that crap and then we just decided it was all ok because of meme culture or some nonsense.
I mean, we at least said we were against it. Slavery, the trail of tears, the Chinese exclusion act, and internment camps, as well as meddling in other countries’ elections, drone strikes, and border camps aren’t exactly pro-democracy, let alone gerrymandering and voter suppression that have been prevalent in poor and minority communities since they were first allowed to vote. I wish we’d been democratic from the start, but I think MAGAers are just continuing an American pastime.
I say we give him a chance. It’ll be like all those people that take one hit of meth and set the pipe down and say ‘ya, this isn’t really hitting the spot for me’.
/s if I didn’t slather it on hard enough
Historically, dictators go hand in hand with peaceful transfers of power after their term is done!
I want to be a dictator for one day.
I want to be a dictator tomorrow too.
I also want to be a dictator the day after tomorrow.
I supposed these statements may be true every day.
He only really wants to be a dictator for a single nanosecond. But that desire renews itself each nanosecond.
If you give a mouse a cookie…
I really don’t get how that doesn’t immediately disqualify him for any public office.
Even at least in the court of public opinion…
Because republicans are traitors to this country. They wish to overthrow democracy and install a Christian dictatorship that enforces their will on everyone.
“And for my first official act as dictator, I hereby abolish night.”
Conservatism is a plague of oppression. It always has been. This plague is long overdue for a cure.
Voting is a good start, but real action will be needed to rid ourselves of this infestation.
He only wants to be a dictator for a day, because after that his fascist government will refer to him as “Dear Leader” and all dissent will be met with force.
After he loses, in the yugest way possible, let’s give him a participation ‘trophy’ in the form of a lengthy ‘shady vacation’ in a nice secure place from from responsibilities.
That is some serious optimism.
When polls show the Democrats way ahead we still lose. Polls are practically tied and we’re even losing ground in important places because of our literal obsession with giving Bloodthirsty Bibi whatever the fuck he wants unconditionally…
That’s not even to mention the ratfucking planned to occur in some swing states to make the vote counting stop until SCOTUS pulls another Bush v Gore… The smaller red counties are done earlier since they are smaller they get done first, Trump shows a lead, then they “find irregularities” with the larger majority Democrat districts and drag that out by hand counting until the SCOTUS says “pencils down, the election is over you need to stop now!”
I’m generally a pessimistic person but I feel like this is almost a guaranteed Trump win… Still vote of course, just be ready to either storm the supreme court or get used to the idea that we’re going to learn what it’s like to be in a dictatorship.
I guess you could say the GOP is a threat to our democracy. I think it is time for us to remove the electoral college and grant DC statehood. A Republican will never hold the White House again until they appeal to the majority of Americans.
He only wants to be a dictator for a day because he’s incapable of thinking more than one day at a time.
Fortunately, we’re well prepared to deal with dictators.
Do it, you demented rapist clown. Put on the military uniform and suspend the Constitution. Do it. Hell, do it now, you know your idiot followers don’t need no steenking election.
What if… this guy is just trying really hard to throw the election now but [🎶 suspenseful music 🎶] it doesn’t work?
Sigh.
